Es is Yiddish for "eat," and this Cambridge classic is as straightforward as its name ("eat and eat"). Founded in 1919 by the great-grandmother of the current owners, it draws huge weekend brunch crowds, and it's worth a visit during the week, too. With lots of light wood and plants, it looks contemporary, but the brunch offerings are huge portions of traditional dishes such as pancakes, waffles, and omelets. The bagels and cinnamon rolls are among the best in the area; you'll also find traditional deli items (corned beef, pastrami, tongue, potato pancakes, and blintzes), yummy house-made corned beef hash, and breakfast anytime. At dinner, comfort food -- barbecue, fresh seafood, chicken parmigiana -- prevails. Be early for brunch, or plan to spend part of your Saturday or Sunday standing around people-watching and getting hungry -- I'll be right there with you.

3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
